Default Anyone make lightweight wheels for an R in 15 x 7.5 or larger width?

I need to stick with 15" wheels, but I'm looking for something wider than 7" rims. Anyone know of a company that makes them?

Must fit an R and not rub on the inside LCA or anything. I don't mind if they stick out past the fenders.

Ok, let me clarify... These will be for autox and not ghetto cruising! So, no Daytons or Players or any brand like that

I was trying to avoid having custom wheels made.

Must they be 15's?

I've got a set of rx7 rims and they fit with a 3mm spacer... 16x8 and 12.9 lbs! That wide enough for you? As a matter of fact, I'll sell them for $300+shipping if you want mine. No tires.

I really wanted 15" because of the available tires in that size (plus Hoosiers tires are cheaper in 15").

16" wheels I'd probably get some rubbing too. Thanks though.

I was thinking you could get some Kosei K1's in a 15x7.5, but tirerack looks kind of depleated on stock right now, and I don't even see any 16's which they usually have. Hmmm, maybe some rota's? obviously i'm not *that* much help, heh.

SSR Competition is listed in a 15x7.5 on the tirerack website and they say it fits the ITR.

Yeah, I saw that. I also have heard that Tirerack has 15x8's that they can drill for the ITR bolt pattern. If that's the case, then I'm getting those.

I have the SSR Competitions - 15 x 7.5 - weigh in at 10lb each I think - don't quote me on that number. I use em specifically for the track. Fit is fine.

I heard that those special-order 15x8" SSR Comp's supposedly rub unless you roll the fenders and/or bang in some decent negative camber. Haven't been able to verify that, though, because I haven't found anyone who actually has a set.

15x7.5" SSR Comp's are the best "bang for the buck" ITR wheel out there in terms of build quality and price, IMHO... *and* you can find 'em cheaper than TireRack if you poke around on the internet.

There is a set of Stern Aguzze on the partstrader.com for ITR's and the size is 15 x 7.5. The guy is only asking $500.
